About this space

Tucked away above The Owl and Hitchhiker on Holloway Road lies one of North London’s most distinctive private hire spaces – a first-floor function room that combines old-world elegance with eccentric, storybook charm.

Whether you're organising a wedding reception, birthday celebration, private dinner, or corporate event, this character-filled space offers a warm, inviting setting with plenty of personality. Think rich wooden floors, soft lighting, original fireplaces, and antique furnishings – all offset by playful touches inspired by the imaginative legacies of Douglas Adams and Edward Lear.

The adjoining parlour adds even more flexibility, ideal for breakout chats, pre-dinner drinks, or creating a more intimate lounge atmosphere. A fully stocked bar serves up craft beers from some of London’s best-loved breweries, a thoughtful wine list, and expertly crafted cocktails tailored to your occasion.

Perfect for those who want something a little offbeat without compromising on style, our function room blends literary quirk with timeless sophistication, a space that’s as photogenic as it is practical.

Tia and Roxie did an amazing job for my event. Roxie was very kind in speaking with me and making special arrangements for the event! Tia was also very communicative and was so helpful to us on the day as well! We really appreciated all her efforts! We really had a great time hosting my sister’s baby shower. Thank you so much to the Owl and Hithhiker team for making the event so successful!
